Mission statement:
To reduce family homelessness in greater Phoenix by empowering a network of interfaith volunteers and community services, to provide shelter, compassion, assistance, and life skills training to return families to self sufficiency and sustainable housing.
Our next 2024 hosting week is October 13-20. Plan now to join us in welcoming several families for the week.
Sunrise Prayer Shawl Ministry Offering Prayer Squares
Prayer Squares are here! Check out the basket at the back of the sanctuary.
These are great visual reminders to pray.
Placed in a pocket, purse, beside your bed, or in the car, the prayer square serves as a reminder: a reminder to pause and pray and also a reminder that someone cares about you. Take one for yourself or someone you know.
Prayer Shawls continue to be available to give to someone with a specific need. We have given out over 40 shawls.
For more information, contact the Sunrise Office 623.780.1008

House of Refuge-Sunnyslope
Members of Sunrise UMC enjoy serving a meal at the House of Refuge. You are welcome to join us and experience the blessing that comes from feeding the homeless. If you are interested in being a part of this mission, please contact the office. This is a 3 part process. We choose a menu and divide the food responsibilities with interested participants, bring the food ready to be served by 4:45 to Sunnyslope, and serve the women and children. We would love to have more people join us.n
